Description

Sits on the Sun Tower, as per Tod Anderson's new guidebook. This is located just left of Lord of the Flies. It follows a bolt line to a finger crack, then the route moves left past two bolts to an anchor. We thought the crux was going from the last bolt to the anchors. Fun route!

Location

This is located just left of Lord of the Flies. The start could use a weed whacker.

Protection

7 bolts to a two bolt anchor. A blue Alien, a #0.5 Camalot, and a #0.75 Camalot come in handy. You can take a run of cams all the way up to two inches.

[Hide Comment] I placed three pieces, a medium nut, a finger-sized cam, and a #0.5 Camalot. You don't need anything bigger. The crack on the right takes bigger gear if you must place bigger gear. There's only one hard move, and that's optional, moving directly up to the anchors. You can instead move left to the arete and back right to the anchors. Sep 20, 2011

[Hide Comment] Surprisingly fun! This wall goes into the sun first, so it makes a great warm-up for the day. May 21, 2020

[Hide Comment] Awesome line, you can get tons of bomber placements in the finger crack off of good stances, and you have a bolt at your chest for the crux. Aug 13, 2021
